Golf in East Granby

East Granby is a small Hartford County town in the tobacco valley north of Bradley International Airport, where the Connecticut River valley's shade tobacco tradition and the airport's commercial functions define the community's dual agricultural and commercial identity. Copper Hill Golf Club provides the East Granby community with nine-hole golf access in the tobacco country landscape, where the characteristic wooden drying barns that once cured Connecticut's famous shade tobacco leaf still mark the horizon across the northern Hartford County countryside. The agricultural character of East Granby has allowed the Hartford County community to maintain its identity as a rural enclave within the greater Hartford metropolitan area, distinguishing it from the more developed residential towns of the Farmington Valley corridor to the south.
